Fire Brigades Union Save Lincoln South Fire Station

In response to the Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue Integrated Risk Management Plan consultation we, the undersigned, demand of Lincolnshire County Council:
• NO to Lincoln South Fire Station switching to Day Crewed meaning increased response times.
• NO to the loss of 1 Rescue Support Unit.
• NO to the permanent move of the Aerial Ladder Platform to Boston from Skegness.

I hope the energy, passion and media coverage the "save the library's" protests attracted is reflected in this petition and just fight to persuade LCC and fire authority that this downgrading of vital immediate response of fire crews should not and can not go ahead! Imposing a 5 minute response on crews, building an expensive accommodation block for them to live away from their families for 96 hours, sometimes 120 is damaging for everyone.

Proud to support this petition against these dangerous and life-threatening proposals.

Lincolnshire County Council should withdraw these damaging cuts plans and go back to the politicians in Westminster and tell them to pay up for the vital public services that people in our county rely upon.

Try holding your breath for 4 minutes. That's the EXTRA time that the people in and around Lincoln, the most populated AND the highest risk area of Lincolnshire will have to do. Please don't be ignorant, stand your ground and protect your right to have firefighters that can save your life, not just move your deceased body in to the fresh air.
